As Ricky Nelson Said....(almost) from Joe Streator

..The Warriors went to a garden party.

Thanks to the Villanova/Missouri game running a bit long last night, I saw the between games filler which was Jim Valvano's ESPY (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) speech during the first ESPY event on March 3, 1993. If you have never heard his speech watch this video. It is very, very good. Fifty-six days later he was dead.

Great Win Over Wisconsin! Tonite Its Washington from Al Kelly

By now you all probably know MU beat Wisconsin in Madison Saturday. Final score Marquette 61 Wisconsin 54. MU held the lead the entire second half and a good part of the first half. 

Neither team shot well but Marquette had a big advantage on the offensive boards and in second chance points. Wisconsin's All American point guard candidate Jordan Taylor picked up several early offensive fouls and spent as much time on the bench as on the court.

Can it Get Any Better? from Joe Streator

Where to begin when reviewing yesterday's game?  What were you thinking when they announced Cadougan would not play?  When Derrick Wilson was named to start?  When Crowder picked up his third foul at the start of the second half?  When our lead went to one?  Put all those thoughts far back in your memory, this team is for real!!!!!!  On the other hand, what did you think when Vander Blue scored on the first second half position or what did you think when Todd Mayo made one of his crucial buckets?  Buzz out coached Bo?  That was not a fluke;  Buzz continues to grow as a coach.  Take this Wisconsin, if we can't get a fast break bucket we are going to play deliberate offensive ball too.  Bo Ryan has lost six non-conference home games in his ten years at UW....two to us.
